Springfield Record: The entire Re-
publican press OF Tennessee JOIN with
the anti-Taylor press in condemning
our Governor. This looks kinder
strange, don't it?
Where is Colyar the radical leader

as thick as eleven pups in basket but
the treachery of Robert is too odorous

ready to distribute among his Mugwump

GOV. TAYLoR's POSITION.

There has been much criticism OF
Gov. Taylor over his recent message,
in that particular where he took turn
about from his campaign confession Of
faith to favor the Blair bill idea OF pub
lie education. 1t boots it little what
we may think OF the Blair bill as prop
osition in considering the action OF the
Governor; the fact is there, that his
message enunciated strange and for
eign sentiment to the great body Of
Tennessee Democrats, and is certainly
at wide variance with the speeches he
made last fall. We have no disposition
to belabor our young friend. We had
rather hoped to be able to help hold uI
his hands through his two years, but i
he estranges himself from the platform
upon which he was elected, and pro
mulgates ideas the earlier enunciatfor
OF which would have defeated him, HI
can blame no one but himself if TIL,
friends of that platform and the oppo
nents OF his new notions shall comba
him with vigorous energy. Mr.. Tay
lar, like the rest of us, might make al
ordinary mistake, but the message
which is criticised was State paper
deliberately prepared, and as such pre-
sumed to contain the sentiments OF tn
party back OF its author. The part
declared against the Blair bill in ad
vance. Mr.. TAYLOR deliberately repu
dated its action. We are sorry 70
him that he did.

BY request of a member of the old
14th Regiment Of Tennessee Infantry,
which was commanded by Col. Forbes
OF GAINESVILLE, and some of the few
survivor OF which live in this county
we republish the following which
shows that at Gettysburg, as on all
other contested fields the boys of the
old "Volunteer State" were in the
front of battle, and that "the centre OF
the column" composed of Archer's
Brigade (the LIST, 9TH and 14th Tennes-
see regiments) commanded by the
brave Col. Frey, and part of Garrett :
Brigade were the only men in the col
umn OF attack that CARED their stand
ards into the euemy's fertilization on
Cemetery Hill:
WAS ARCHER's BRIGADE CAPTURED?
CHICAGO, June IL Editor Repubii-
can. II notice in your "Tales OF the
War; that the claim is put forth and
denied that the Iron brigade captured
Archer's brigade, or the greater part oil
it, on the first day at Gettysburg. was
serving as a staff officer in the federal
army during the Pennsylvania invasion
and on the third day was on duty with
the Second corps, and was on the line
after Pickett's charge, or rather the
charge of corps had failed, and per-
haps can give little information on
the subject. OF course it is well known
chat on the first day the Iron brigade
captured Gen. Archer and consider
able number OF his troops-just how
many do not know. Gen. Doubleday
says IA large part OF it" (the brigade).
However, from the confederate field
report, 10 appears that on July /, the
first day.
ABGHER's BRIGADE
was composed of the First, Seventh and
Fourteenth Tennessee and Thirteenth
Alabama regiments. Col. w. II.
Swallow, confederate staff officer, has
recently published an account of the
Gettysburg campaign, and in describ-
ing the formation OF the attacking col
umn on the third day he says: "Archer's
Tennessee brigade, holding the right OF
Pettigrew's division, hooked on the left
OF Garnett. And in the attack by the
direct column OF assault: 1.-THE right
of Pettigrew's division, Archer's Ten
nessee brigade and Garnett's brigads
of Pickett's division charged right on
the enemy's works. The First
Tennessee and the greater part of the
Seventh, with the Thirty eighth Vir.
ginia and other parts OF Garnett's bril-
grade, rushed over the enemy's breast
works, driving the enemy before them
on his reserves. AS part oil
Archer's brigade and Garnetts entered
the works the rest OF Archer's men on
the left OF his line also crowded to the
right. Pettigrew's brigade
now united with Archer's regiment
that had not entered the Notifications
and attacked the enemy with the most
desperate determination. The
centre OF the column, composed of par
of Archer's brigade commanded by tn;
brave Col. Frey, and part Of Garrett,
brigade
WERE THE ONLY MEN
in the column OF attack that carried
their standards into the enemy's iorti
fication or Cemetery Hill"
